The Nuveen Short-Term REIT ETF is a U.S. equity REIT ETF that offers exposure to REITs with less price sensitivity to interest rate changes, primarily tracking equity REITs that generate cash flows from short-term leases. The two main objectives of NURE are to reduce interest rate sensitivity while still providing exposure to U.S. equity REITs. The second objective is to provide relatively attractive yield. Comparing the performance of NURE with that of the overall REIT market, we can draw a safe conclusion that NURE is not able to shield investors from surging interest rates.

Housing supply constraints and high borrowing costs are pricing many potential buyers out of the single-family market, leading to increased demand for rental properties. Apartment REITs, particularly those exposed to growing markets, are well-positioned to benefit from this supply-demand imbalance and pass value along to investors. Investors can gain exposure to this opportunity through individual apartment REITs or ETFs focused on residential real estate, such as the Residential REIT ETF.

Life Storage

Storage REITs are the best-performing property sector this year after lagging in late 2022, lifted by surprisingly solid earnings results and a thawing of the previously icy-cold housing market. Storage demand is driven largely by housing activity – specifically, home sales and rental market turnover - and the recent moderation in mortgage rates has eased concern of a deepening housing recession.

NURE provides exposure to US real estate investment trusts (REITs) with short-term leases, including apartments, hotels, self-storage facilities, and manufactured home properties. Short-term REITs have reduced rate sensitivity relative to longer-term REITs.

Rental market turnover finished 2022 near historic-lows while home sales also dipped to decade-lows.
